Biochemical, Immunological and Epidemiological Analysis of Parasitic Diseases
Autor P.K. Bandyopadhyay, N.R. Das, Amit Chattopadhyayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 ian 2023
The book discusses the complex life cycle, biochemical adaptations, and molecular biology of the parasites. It investigates the immunological response to different infectious agents and explores new targets for combined therapeutic approaches. It also summarizes the evolution of parasitism and the ecology of parasites of the different phylum.
Lastly, it provides information on vector biology emphasizing the role of basic vector research in developing future disease control methods and improving upon the existing approaches.

Notă biografică
Late Professor P.K. Bandyopadhyay was a professor in the Department of Zoology, University of Kalyani. He was a nominated member of the National Academy of Sciences, India, and was an executive and life member of the Indian Society for Parasitology. He was an adjudicatory person and was aboard member of several universities and colleges in India and abroad. Professor Bandyopadhyay’s latest research pertained to fish diseases and their plant-based control measures. He and his team isolated and characterized the bioactive compound, oleic acid, from Carica papaya seed and used the product as aqua-soluble drug in treating fish bacterial disease invivo. He had published more than 170 research articles on animal taxonomy.

This book comprehensively reviews various vector-borne diseases and their control methods. It discusses morphology, life history, and pathogenicity of protozoan and helminth parasites. Further, it analyzes host-parasite interactions and their adaptation within the host system for understanding parasitic infections.
The book discusses the complex life cycle, biochemical adaptations, and molecular biology of the parasites. It investigates the immunological response to different infectious agents and explores new targets for combined therapeutic approaches. It also summarizes the evolution of parasitism and the ecology of parasites of the different phylum.
Lastly, it provides information on vector biology emphasizing the role of basic vector research in developing future disease control methods and improving upon the existing approaches.
